Course Details
The human-animal interaction has long been established and has emerged in multiple aspects including the housing of animals for food and as pets. Pet birds” are wild or exotic birds having high genetic value and are housed under captivity as companions or for ornamental purposes.
The term “pet birds” employs on every bird which feeds on different plant seeds or grains and could be kept legally under captivity which could spend all or some time in cages. The increased popularity of “pet birds” particularly during the last few decades has highlighted the significance of pet bird zoonoses and pet bird medicine throughout the world.
Further, the relationship between humans and birds is diverse and has existed for centuries. Humans are using wild birds for different purposes i.e., meat, eggs, skins, and feathers as food or for ornamental purposes.
The relation has emerged from historical sport hunting to companion or pet birds which are currently considered as “family members” in several regions of the world. The majority of pet birds are originated from either Passeriformes (canaries and finches etc.) or Psittaciformes (budgerigars, parrots and parakeets, etc.)
These birds particularly the psittaciformes are naturally wild inhabitants and are now domesticated to be kept as companions or for ornamental purposes. Among all the birds, parrots are the most common having been domesticated since the times of Alexander the Great and ancient Egyptians. Pigeons are among the first domesticated birds which are now reared for meat, racing and historically were used as courier pigeons particularly during wartimes.
There are many factors that influence the owners to select an appropriate species of a bird to be housed as pet bird i.e. size of the birds, color, average age, sound and interaction of birds with humans.
Pet birds are housed under conditions to meet standard requirements for the welfare of pet birds. Besides the pet birds and human relationship, these birds are potential carriers or transmitters of several pathogens considered responsible for zoonotic diseases.
The range of zoonotic diseases consists of bacterial, viral, parasitic, and fungal diseases. The mode of transmission is also an important entity for understanding the spread mechanism of zoonotic diseases.
The transmission and spread are predominantly through direct contact and in the few conditions through the vectors; termed as vector-borne transmission. Altogether, in this course, different aspects of welfare and behavior of pet birds, categories of zoonotic diseases along with the mode of transmission and spread of zoonoses are covered. At the last, few aspects of the welfare of pet birds and prevention and control guidelines of zoonoses are suggested for personal biosafety and public health.
